He could have at least tried to get to about the 38. It was like 17 yards. I've seen that done dozens of times... and they got points.
You can't say that decision "cost us points" anymore than I can say it "saved us from a turnover".
When teams go into hurry-up mode more mistakes are made. When defenses do not have to even think about the run interceptions are more common.
You can't honestly believe that every "hurry-up drive" at the end of a half generates points and never results in a turnover.
